Tonight’s multi-faith prayer is shared by representatives of six traditions. It is representative, but certainly not exhaustive, of the faith communities, as well as communities of people who do not affiliate with a faith but seek to be in service to what is good, to what is right, to values that transcend the self. This prayer is neither a “feel-good” moment nor a passing show; in fact, this is the show. Our prayer, our presence, all the work that each community does individually and corporately, they are the soul, the conscience, and the heartbeat of our city.

I stand as a Christian, unique in my faith and united in our community. Our differences, while important, can also illumine our similarities. We are able to envision bold ways of being together, serving together, and loving together. We must continue to reach out to one another, with love and respect.
